They don’t give discounts to the retailers that they can then pass on to customers. That makes it difficult but still if I can I shop local. Or wait for free shipping on deals.
It is true that shipping has certainly affected many companies. Some pass it on in the actual cost of the item others add it as shipping either way they can’t absorb the shipping costs all the time I guess.
Yes, I knew that shipping costs are going up all over, this was just a shock as I think it's double from what I paid last year. I buy as often as I can from Amazon and always only with free shipping. I have the GO! BIG and love it, too and don't really need any more dies as I have 3 or 4 I haven't even used yet. Mats are something you have to replace periodically, as you know, and the two I'm buying I need now.
